文摘This paper proposes a novel method for proving weakly ground termination in a restricted domain of a term rewriting system based on structural and cover set induction. For this prupose,we introduce the concepts of base set and set of ground terms defined recursively over base sets,which plays a crucial role in the inductive method. The method can be used for non-terminating,non-confluent and/or non-linear term rewriting systems,and have application in inductive equivalence testing and program verification.
